FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
The Skechers Aero Spark trainers are designed for versatile daily running and offer excellent cushioning and energy return. While they can be used for marathons, they are best suited for runners who prioritize comfort and support for regular mileage. For highly competitive marathoners, specialized racing flats might offer a lighter, more aggressive profile.
Can I wear these if I have flat feet?
Yes, the Arch Fit® insole system is podiatrist-certified for arch support, making these trainers a good option for individuals with flat feet or those seeking enhanced arch support.
How durable is the Goodyear® Performance Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is known for its durability and provides reliable traction. It is designed to withstand regular running on various surfaces, offering good longevity.
What does the carbon-infused H-plate do?
The carbon-infused H-plate is integrated into the midsole to enhance energy return and propulsion. It helps to create a more efficient stride, giving you a feeling of 'spring' with each step.
Can these shoes be worn in wet weather?
The engineered mesh upper may offer some protection, but the shoes are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions. Machine washing is recommended with cold water and air drying.
Is the HYPER BURST ICE™ cushioning firm or soft?
HYPER BURST ICE™ cushioning is designed to be lightweight and responsive, offering a balance between softness for comfort and firmness for energy return. It provides a dynamic feel underfoot.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the sizing guide and measure your foot length. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lace-up design allows for some adjustment, but a proper initial fit is crucial.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed and tied securely but not overly tight. If the issue persists, consider the fit in relation to your foot shape.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The HYPER BURST ICE™ cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dry. If the issue is significant, it might be time to consider replacing the shoes after prolonged wear.
Traction issues on wet surfaces.
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is designed for durability and grip, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Clean the outsole of any debris that might affect grip.
Machine washing leaves a residue.
Use only a mild detergent and ensure the washing machine is clean. Always air dry the shoes completely afterward, as residual moisture can affect materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Skechers Aero Spark trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before your first run. The Arch Fit® insole is removable if you prefer to use your own custom orthotics, provided they are compatible in size and shape.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for versatile daily running on various surfaces. The Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers good traction on roads, sidewalks, and light, dry trails. They are not specifically designed for trail running in wet or muddy conditions, or for specialized sports requiring lateral stability.
Care:
- Machine Washable: For best results, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
- Air Dry: After washing, remove the insoles and laces. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Do not use a machine dryer.
- Surface Cleaning: For minor dirt, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
